Is the Prius fun to drive? No not particularly... does it ride the best? no... is it the most trouble free motoring? yes.... I've now done about 13,000 miles on the Prius and I've had to do nothing but a yearly service with the Hybrid Health Check (free with the service) I've not even replaced a bulb as yet so I cannot complain

This sums up Toyotas in general for me and is why I will never own one. To me they are an automotive white good, designed purely to do a job. Admittedly they do this job well but, for me, driving a car is about so much more than just getting from A to B.Quote:

Its sense of bland, inoffensive, quiet, competent mediocrity made me cross!
I actually really like the look of Grant’s C-HR but I wouldn’t ever want to drive one, as I know it would ruin the illusion!
Then again, I adore old Range Rovers so perhaps my vehicular ponderings should be viewed with grave suspicion...
the chr is a looker, but its not a super fast sports car. its not slow and it handles very well; the multilink rear suspension allows you a fair bit of liberty taking for a fairly high car, sporty wise. 120hp 1.8l engine is sprightly enough, but the cvt holds it back performance wise. still it is nippier at lower speeds. 0-60 is nothing to write home about but the 0-25 is very good at roundabouts.Quote:

I owned an Avensis for about 7 years and in many ways it was the best car I've ever had, quiet, comfortable, faultlessly reliable (despite only being serviced twice) when I sold it at ten years old with 160000 miles on it all that had been replaced was the starter motor and clutch, everything else was original (apart from tyres and pads)Quote:
